Traffic Shift Planned Oct. 22 & 23 on U.S. 1 for Reconstruction in Bensalem Township

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that a traffic shift is planned on southbound U.S. 1 under PennDOT’s $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of U.S. 1 in Bucks County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

  • Tuesday, October 22, and Wednesday, October 23, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a single lane pattern will be in place in both directions on U.S. 1 approaching the Penndel/Business U.S. 1 interchange for line striping and other activities preparing for the traffic shift.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas because backups and delays may occur.

The traffic shift will move southbound U.S. 1 traffic from the northbound side of the highway onto the recently completed bridges over the SEPTA and CSX railway and Rockhill Drive at the Neshaminy Exit.
